Making a Difference
You don’t have to make headlines to make a difference. (Drew Scholl, businessman, author)
Much has been made about everyone having “15 minutes of fame,” but that isn’t always true. While many athletes, musicians, and politicians do gain the headlines, not everyone seeks that kind of notice. Some of those headliners do make a difference, but most of us will make a difference simply by doing good works, encouraging, and helping others as God enables us.
Be careful not to do your good deeds in public in order to attract attention. If you do, your Father in heaven will not reward you (Matthew 6:1). [But] Let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father (Matthew 5:16).
